Comedia Congress 2009 decides on merger with communications union
At this year's congress of the media union Comedia on November 28 in Bern, the 100 or so delegates will decide whether Comedia wants to merge with the communications union GeKo.
If the delegates of both unions vote yes - the GeKo members will decide at their congress on November 30 and December 1 in Bern - this would mean the green light for the implementation of the merger as of January 1, 2011, as Comedia writes in a press release.
A merger of the two trade unions, whose core areas of production, logistics and distribution of information and media are moving ever closer together due to technological developments, would create the second-largest trade union within the Swiss Federation of Trade Unions, SGB, with 48,000 members.
